[VPAAEtal] Teacher Quality Partnership Competition is OPEN

[Academic Affairs]

Colleague:
The U.S. Department of Education's (ED)  Teacher Quality Partnership<http://www2.ed.gov/programs/tqpartnership/index.html> (TQP) solicitation is available. Please see the announcement here<http://www.grants.gov/view-opportunity.html?oppId=284055>. ED strongly suggests that potential applicants complete the notice of intent form<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/tqpfy16> by June 22, 2016. Applications are due July 7, 2016.
In FY 16, $5 million is available for up to five awards. ED is particularly interested in TQP applications that propose to serve rural and/or tribal communities. In addition to two absolute priorities (applicants must address at least one), there is one competitive preference priority (worth up to 15 points) and one invitational priority. While the latter two priorities are optional, GRC strongly recommends that applicants address the competitive preference priority to be in the top tier pool of applicants.
ED is planning a series of webinars. GRC will alert members when that information becomes available. Please address any questions to the TQP contacts<http://www2.ed.gov/programs/tqpartnership/contacts.html>.
Good Luck!
